The Weeknd – “Wicked Games (DJ Slink Remix)”

Alright, so this is a little different than usual, but change never hurt anyone…well I guess it has, but this is a pretty harmless type of change. If anyone suffers though, do let me know. With the disclaimer out of the way, I guess I’ll continue to the song.

The progression of Trap music is pretty strange, because the term has completely transformed in meaning. In the 2000’s, Trap was a sub genre of rap, usually relating to drugs. Now, Trap is a cousin of house music, and sounds entirely different. In this post, DJ Slink, remixes a classic Weeknd song, entitled “Wicked Games”. The original is dark but beautiful, as Weeknd music tends to be. DJ Slink does a remarkable job at maintaining the melancholy vibe of the original all the while applying an entirely new, but tasteful twist to it. Give it a chance and let me know what you think. Enjoy.
